The Lutheran
Writers Project
a home for writers and readers influencing and influenced by Lutheran traditions

The Lutheran Writers Project provides resources and gathering opportunities for writers, readers, and institutions -- including churches, schools, colleges, and churchwide organizations. Our official home is at Roanoke College, in Salem, Virginia.

Our mission is:

To engage and renew the imagination of the Lutheran church--its traditions, its future, its missions, and its culture;
To serve those who create, read, and publish literature that strives for spiritual and literary depth;
To recognize and celebrate the literary gifts of writers who engage the Lutheran imagination;
To provide information resources enabling dialogue among writers, readers, teachers, pastors, and Lutheran institutions.
